Returning Player Needs Some Info

ShadowDisciple

Hi all!

I played alot of ESO on and off since i think update 4-5 (cant remember exactly). Im downloading the Hist Patch as we speak so while servers are down i was wondering if anyone can shed some light on the state of the game.

Let me preface that i simply love ESO. I know it has flaws but besides Cyrodiil lag i dont have any problems with the game as the ES Lore and setting is one of the best in my opinion and some features this game has are simply above any other MMO IN MY opinion.

I just want to know a few things if anyone can help.

-Is Nord now a good choice for Stamina DPS archetype? - i always loved nord's but i settled for redguard, cuz you know OP ;P And i dont really like magic wielders in general :P
-How is cyrodiil? Lag any better?
-Also did the new capture system in Cyro force smaller scale pvp??
- is the ESO+ crafting bag good? Can you bassically collect everyting in your way and not get cluttered?

By now you noticed im a PvP oriented player, but i did do all of the pve content up to the Thieves Guild. Once i completely finish the vet dungeons i just loose interest and do them veeery seldomly as i dont really feel like its challenging enough. Vet maelstrom was the hardest content i did and even that is preety easy once you get used to it.
Also im not currently ESO+ but will be in a few days when i get reintroduced with the game and start playing a bit more seriously

First off the Crafting bag is beyond worth it. Get it! Everyone who has it wouldn't go back to not having it.

Cyrodiil's lag is a little better but it still exists when the pop is locked and everyone is battling in one area as you would expect.

-Crafting bag is very good. I recommand it.
-Lag is better than yera ago but it STILL exists.
-Nord got 6% more stamina


Thieves guild was 9th update...

_Nord race has been buffed, so it can be a viable Stam DPS build but Redguard's still way too op in PvP

_Cyro lag is surprisingly better since the Hist update, but that might be due to all PvPers farming gear/motifs and what not. Just look at the Alliance Leaderboards xD

_Regarding smallscale, it really has been almost non existent since the DB patch. Seriously, you take one resource, you're almost guaranteed to have 15 enemies at least showing up to claim it back.
The rare groups running with 4-5 people all have a magicka templar healboting them, making fights tedious and kills almost impossible unless you're a high damage/burst build (speaking from a magicka sorc point of view : killing enemies that are getting healbotted just doesn't work now that deto and dawnbreaker have been trashed).
You will see by yourself at any rate. Now that heavy armor is op, most builds became tankier, and thus more difficult to kill fast enough. Malubeth still not being fixed doesn't help either. And while you're busy fighting a tanky dk or templar, 6-7 others come to his rescue.

_The towns are either empty or getting zerged. No smallscale to be had here. Even in the Imperial City, there are entire guild raids camping flags.
See for yourself (organised 20 man guild flag camping at 1am on a week night). Same goes for resources.

i returned to the game about 4 weeks ago after about a year out. one thing that took me by surprise was the change to levels = previously it was vr etc. now once you take a toon to lvl50 it immediately becomes whatever cp your account has.

if you were already aware of this please feel free to call me a n00b and ignore the above.
